“An amazing poet. Beautiful, powerful poems with a few surprise sarcastic sprinkles. I enjoyed reading this short book of poetry.”

“I really enjoyed reading this graphic novel. I liked the characters, the wit, the portrayal of high school, and the illustrations. The ending didn't sit well with me, but I'd still recommend it. Good for late middle school into high school. A very quick read. A few semi-bad words, but content is...”

“I found this book to be provocative - it made me think about my career in a slightly different way (e.g., the jungle gym analogy). Women and men should read this book to learn more about how women can lean in, have a seat at the table, and become leaders.”

“I thought this book was great (how can you not love "carroty breath?") but was a little disappointed by the ending - which is fine, just not knock-your-socks-off-genius. However, my kids (4 and 6) love the book and think the end is SOOO smart so I decided to give it 5 stars. I was afraid my...”

“I thought this book was great (how can you not love "carroty breath?") but was a little disappointed by the ending - which is fine, just not knock-your-socks-off-genius. However, my kids (4 and 6) love the book and think the end is SOOO smart so I decided to give it 5 stars. I was afraid my daughter might get scared after reading it and/or might decide she doesn't like carrots, but so far, neither has happened. A great picture book and read aloud for kids of all ages. Caldecott.”

“This is an intriguing novel that is characterized by several stories that take place in several different time periods - all tied together by the topic of LDS and plural marriage. I was fascinated by it because polygamy is just a fascinating topic and I also appreciate strong-willed female...”

“This is an intriguing novel that is characterized by several stories that take place in several different time periods - all tied together by the topic of LDS and plural marriage. I was fascinated by it because polygamy is just a fascinating topic and I also appreciate strong-willed female characters. I thought about this book a lot after I was done reading it.”

“This is the story of Lina, a 15 year old Lithuanian girl, who is taken captive with her mother and younger brother and shipped off to a Siberian labor camp during WWII.

“This is the story of Lina, a 15 year old Lithuanian girl, who is taken captive with her mother and younger brother and shipped off to a Siberian labor camp during WWII. This is story I was unfamiliar with and I definitely think it is a story that needs to be told. I swear I felt the lice on my scalp and the sores on my hands while reading this book. This story will tug at your emotions like any great story does. There are lots of great WWII young adult historical fiction books out there and this is another one to add to the group”

“Yolanda Garcia wrote a book that is suspiciously similar to her life and ticks off her relatives in the process. I especially liked the way this novel was written from various perspectives - all unique in their style and perception of Yo. The stories reveal Yo's multilayered and complex...”

“Yolanda Garcia wrote a book that is suspiciously similar to her life and ticks off her relatives in the process. I especially liked the way this novel was written from various perspectives - all unique in their style and perception of Yo. The stories reveal Yo's multilayered and complex personality, especially with regard to relationships and culture (Dominican Republic/US). I really enjoyed this book. ”
